Semi-Centennial  Hymn 

1909 

I  love  Thy  kingdom,  Lord ! 

The  house  of  Thiue  abode, 
The  church,  our  blest  Kedeemer  saved 

With  his  own  precious  blood. 

I  love  Thy  church,  O  God ! 

Her  walls  before  Thee  stand, 
Dear  as  the  apple  of  Thiue  eye, 

And  graven  on  Thy  hand. 

For  her  my  tears  shall  fall. 
For  her  my  prayers  ascend; 

To  her  my  cares  and  toils  be  given. 
Till  toils  and  cares  shall  end. 

Beyond  my  highest  joy 

I  prize  her  heavenly  ways, 
Her  sweet  communion  solemn  vows. 

Her  hymns  of  love  and  praise. 

Sure  as  Thy  truth  shall  last, 

To  Zion  shall  be  given 
The  brightest  glories  eaiiJi  can  yield. 
And  brighter  bliss  of  heaven. 


Preface 

This  little  volume  was  authorized  by  the  Session.  As  its  title 
indicates,  the  object  was  to  preseiTC  a  record  of  some  events  in  the 
first  fifty  years  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church. 

Omng  to  the  fact  that  only  scant  records  were  compiled  during 
the  eai'Iier  jx^ars,  and  that,  of  these,  somie,  were  lost  in  mo\ang"  from 
the  old  to  the  new  church,  the  committee  acknowledges  its  indebted- 
ness to  some  of  the  earlier  friends  and  members  of  the  church  for 
valuable  infonination,  and  to  later  ones  for  assistance  rendered. 

It  must  not  be  inferred  that  those  whose  najnes  or  features  ap- 
pear were  more  active  or  deserving  than  solme  others.  It  is  only 
that  some  incident  or  circumstance  brought  the  former  intO'  more 
prominence.  Time  and  space  woiild  fail  us  to  tell  of  the  many  whose 
lives  were  a  blessing  to  the  church  and  around  whose  memory  there 
lingers  a  sweet  odor. 

In  perusing  this  book  results  only  are  seen.  The  work  of  com- 
piling it,  requiring  the  careful  examination  of  the  records  for  fifty 
years,  the  corresjwndemce,  the  collecting  of  needed  information,  and 
all  later  details  are  inconceivable  to  those  who  have  not  had  a  like 
experience. 

Because  of  having  had  this  work  to  do,  this  committee  may  at 
tach  undue  importance  to  what,  after  all,  may  meet  with  no  special 
favor. 

Be  that  asi  it  may,  without  minimizing  tJie  work  of  the  other 
membea's  of  the  comlmittee,  it  is  due  to  its  chairman,  INIiss  Lucy  A. 
Ware,  to  state  that  the  whole  idea  of  this  souvenir  book  is  her  own 
and  its  carrying  out  largely  due  to-  her  untiring  efforts.

OLD  GOVERNMENT  HOSPITAL 


Historical  Sketch  of  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church 

1859-1909 

We  boast  of  being  the  first  church  organization  to  erect  a  build- 
ing for  worship  in  the  city  of  Port  Scott,  and  the  credit  of  that  build- 
ing is  largely  due,  as  is  the  foundation  of  other  churches,  to  the  faith 
and  energy  of  a  few  womien. 

As  early  as  the  siimniier  of  1859,  when  the  poimlation  was  small, 
and  the  number  of  those  of  any  religious  belief  was  still  smaller, 
Eev.  Eankin  came  here  from  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  a  long  journey  in  those 
days,  and  organized  a  Presbyterian  Church,  composed  of  three  mem- 
bers, Mrs.  Wpi.  Smith,  Mrs.  Alex  McDonald,  and  Mr.  J.  S.  Calkins, 
the  latter  being  eilected  the  first  Elder.  It  was  a  small  beginning, 
but  "large  oaks  from  little  acorns  grow,"  and  it  prospered. 

Eev.  Eankin  reimained  with  his  small  but  hopeful  congregation 
about  one  year,  and  upon  his  dei>arture  the  church  engaged  the  serv- 
ices of  Mr.  S.  N.  Mitchell  of  Missouri,  who  remained  with  them  un- 
til the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War. 

The  congreigation  was  now  for  some  time  without  a  leader,  but 
in  March,  1861,  Eev.  Austin  Warner  was  sent  to  the  West  by  the 
Presbyterian  Mission  Board.  His  headquarters  was  at  Fort  Lin- 
coln, and  having  a  large  circuit,  he  was  enabled  to  preach  to  the 
Fort  Scott  congregation  but  once  a  month,  while  at  times  he  was 
unable  to  find  any  room  available  for  public  services. 

On  April  1,  1861,  the  tom^n  company  deeded  the  two  lots  at  the 
southeast  comer  of  Main  and  Third  street  to  the  following  gentle- 
men, in  trust,  for  the  Presbyterian  church :    Messrs.  W.  E.  Judson, 


H.  T.  Wilson,  J.  S,  Kedfield,  S.  A.  Williams,  Alex  McDonald,  and 
Geo.  A.  CraiWford. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  distractions  incident  toi  war  times 
had  stagnated  everything  but  the  spirit  of  conflict,  and  virtually 
left  a  blank  so  far  as  religious  progression  was  concerned,  little  was 
accomplished  for  the  next  two  years.  In  18G3,  the  first  steps  were 
taken  toward  the  erection  of  a  church  building.  The  foundation  was 
finished  in  1864,  and  the  first  church  building  was  completed  and 
ready  for  sendees  in  the  autumn  of  1865,  the  actual  cost  being 
13,269. 

Fi'om  the  first  organization  of  the  church,  prayer  meetings 
Mere  held  regularly  at  the  home  of  either  Mrs.  Alex  McDonald  or 
Mrs.  Win.  Smith.  A  sewing  society  was  also  organized,  including, 
beside  the  church  members,  a  number  of  ladies  who  did  not  belong 
to  any  chiirch,  but  -n'orked  for  the  good  of  the  cause,  and  in  later 
years  united  with  the  church.  Evening  socials  were  held,  where 
light  refreshments  were  served,  and  all  contributed  to  the  general 
fund. 

In  October,  1865,  Rev.  Qeo.  A.  In'in  was  called  as  the  first  Pas- 
tor. He  preached  the  first  sermon  in  the  new  church  on  Nov.  20, 
and  on  Dec.  3,  the  Church  was  formally  dedicated  as  a  place  of 
public  worship.  As  great  difficulty  was  exijerienced  at  this  time  in 
finding  a  suitable  room  for  a,  service,  the  Presbyterians  came  to  the 
relief  of  the  Methodists  and  tendered  thean  the  use  of  the  church  for 
one  service  on  each  Sabbath,  which  offer  was  gladly  accepted.  This 
arrangement  Avas  continued  for  over  a  year,  or  until  the  Methodist 
organization  had  a  home  of  its  own.  The  Sabbath  school  was  con- 
ducted as  a  union  school,  having  officers  and  teachers  from  both 
denominations. 

Rev.  Irvin  remained  Avith  the  church  for  three  years,  doing  effi- 
cient woirk.  The  meetings  of  the  Session  recorded  during  these  years 
are  full  of  indications  of  the  earnest,  faithful  efforts  on  the  part  of 
both  Pastor  and  officers  to  maintain  a  Presbyterian  church,  and  no 


small  burden  of  respousihililj  and  labor  was  laid  on  tbeir  shoulders. 
In  October,  1868,  Rev.  T.  Y.  Gardner,  the  second  pastor,  entered 
upon  his  duties  and  supplied  the  pulpit  for  one  year,  after  which  he 
was  installed  as  regular  pastor.  The  church  was  now  self-sustain- 
ing. The  membership  had  been  increased  to  eighty,  and  a  comfort- 
able manse  had  been  built.  Eev.  Irviu  remained  with  the  church  for 
three  years,  when  the  relation  between  pa.stor  and  people  was  dis- 
solved by  Presbytery. 

In  January,  1872,  Eev.  William  C.  Porter  came  as  the  third 
pastor  of  this  church,  and  from  that  early  date  has  been  identified 
with  its  every  move. 

It  is  not  necessaiy  to  review  minutely  the  varying  fortunes  of 
the  church  and  its  people  during  all  these  years,  as  they  struggled 
against  the  vicissitudes  incidental  to  the  early  days  and  a  new  and 
undeveloped  country.  All  who  are  faaniliar  with  life  in  the  West 
can  fully  understand  the  many  difficulties  surrounding  a  church, 
particularly  where  a  powerful  saloon  element  was  intrenched  in  op- 
position, to  neutralize  the  best  efforts.  It  is  sufficient  to  say  that 
the  Presbyterian  church  conquered  and  flourished,  and  today  can 
be  seen  the  fiiiits  of  the  struggle  in  the  many  beneficent  influences 
of  a  Christian  religion  that  vitalizes  all  it  touches. 

Although  this  church  and  congregation  had  fre(iueutly  stag- 
gered under  the  burden  of  current  expenses  its  increasing  growth 
demanded,  in  the  early  '80's,  a  more  conunodious  place  of  wor.ship. 
Shoulders  were  placed  to  the  wheels,  and  they  soon  forged  ahead. 
It  might  be  deemed  advisable  at  this  point  to  mention  the  names  of 
those  men  who  have  given  such  substantial  financial  aid  to  the 
church,  but  these  facts  are,  to  the  minutest  detail,  given  a  place  in 
the  official  records  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  realizing  that  it  is 
very  difficult  "to  draw  the  line,"  and  earnestly  desiring  to  avoid  giv- 
ing offense  to  the  few,  or  to  the  many,  personalities,  in  this  particu- 
lar line,  have  been  omitted.  The  church  feels  deeply  its  debt  of  grati- 
tude to  many  of  its  members,  and  also  to  Messrs.  Jas.  S.  McCord, 


Robt.  McCord,  R.  J.  Harris,  and  W.  J.  Moore,  who,  though  regular 
attendants  at  the  services,  were  not  members  of  the  church,  but  have 
generously  placed  both  time  and  money  at  the  disposal  of  the  Trus- 
tees. 

The  last  meeting  in  the  old  church  on  Main  street  was  held  on 
Sunday,  September  16, 1888,  and  on  September  23  the  second  church 
home  at  the  corner  of  Third  and  Crawford  streets  was  dedicated. 
The  day  was  especially  beautiful.  A  congregation  of  more  than 
eight  hundred  people,  including  representatives  from  every  church 
in  the  city,  assembled  to  share,  in  a  measure,  the  deep  gratification 
of  the  miembers  over  the  accomplishment  of  a  long  cherished  design. 
The  sermon,  by  D'r.  McCabe,  of  Toj^ekai,  was  an  eloquent  dis- 
course fromi  Acts,  15:10,  "What  God  hath  cleansed,  that  call  not 
thou  common,"  and  he  chose  for  his  theme,  "What  is  good  enough 
for  God  is  good  enough  for  us."  The  sen'ices  were  especially  im- 
pressive, and  the  members  in  attendance  left  the  church  feeling 
that  tliey  had  entered  upon  a  new  era  of  church  life,  with  greatly 
enlarged  facilities  for  their  work. 

Upon  the  pulpit,  dui'ing  this  service,  lay  a  very  finely  illustrated 
Bible,  bound  in  Turkey  Morocco,  a  gift  from  Miss  Eliza  Hawley,  a 
former  member  of  this  church,  who  upon  hearing  of  the  new  house 
of  worship  generously  forwarded  this  donation  to  the  completed 
edifice. 

After  nearly  thirty-five  years  of  most  successful  work  as  pastor 
of  this  church,  the  Presbytery  of  Neosho,  at  Pleasanton,  conferred 
upon  Dr.  W.  C.  Porter  the  title  of  Pastor  Emeritus.  So  sweet  had 
been  his  infiuence,  so  healing  his  ministry,  that  the  choice  of  his 
successor  was  made  -n-ithout  a  division  of  sentimient,  and  the  unani- 
mous call  of  the  church  was  extended  to  Rev.  Alfred  E.  Vanorden, 
who  in  August,  1906,  assumed  the  more  active  duties  of  the  pas- 
torate. 

His  earnest,  diirect  and  pcxwerful  presentation  of  the  Gospel, 
his  pleasing  personal  appearance,  his  manifest  devotion  to  each  de- 


partiment  of  his  parish  duty,  has  commended  and  endeared  him  to 
his  congregation,  and  he  is  now  our  Semi-Centennial  Pastor.  In 
the  various  lines  of  church  work  the  growth  has  been  steady,  indi- 
cating that  Pastor,  Pastor  Emeritus,  officers  and  people  are  still 
working  in  harmiony  and  for  the  highest  and  best  interests  of  the 
church. 

Some  interesting,  but  little  known  facts  in  our  church  histoi*y 
may  be  of  benefit  to  some  of  our  readers. 

In  1842,  Fort  Scott  was  a  military  post,  and  the  ground  used 
as  a  burial  place  was  in  the  Northwestern  part  of  our  present  city, 
extending  as  far  East  as  Crawford  street,  and  as  far  South  as  First 
street.  This  ground  was  used  by  the  residents  until  1862,  when  on 
Septemlber  30,  Mr.  John  G.  Stewart  sold  to  the  Presbyterian  church 
society  a  plot  of  gi'ound  twenty-eight  rods  square — a  part  of  the 
present  National  Cemetery — for  |75.00,  and  they  established  a  cem- 
etery there.  This  was  used  by  both  citizens  and  soldiers  until  August 
15,  1873,  when  the  United  States  Government  purchased  the  land 
for  1300.00,  and,  T\ith  the  addition  of  an  equa'l  portion  adjoining, 
converted  it  into  a  National  Cemetery. 

The  first  church  bell  was  a  gift  from  Mr.  Alex  McDonald,  and 
his  wife  presented  to  the  church  its  first  silver  communion  set. 

On  June  19, 1870,  it  was  ordered  by  the  Session  that  unferment- 
ed  wine  should  be  used  at  the  Sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper,  and! 
that  the  preparatory  lecture  should  be  given  on  the  ^Mednesday 
evening  preceding  the  communion  season. 

For  several  years  the  different  Ladies'  Societies  of  the  churcli 
had  worked  and  planned  toward  the  future  purchase  of  a  pipe 
organ,  and  during  the  first  year  of  Rev.  Vanorden's  pastorate,  with 
his  added  help  and  encouragement,  the  accumulations  were  sufficient 
to  justify  the  purchase  of  the  instrument.  After  necessary  altera- 
tions in  the  church  building  were  completed,  the  present  beautiful 
pipe  organ,  which  has  been  a  source  of  great  pleasure  to  all,  was  in- 


stalled  and  foriuall}'  dedicated  at  a  Recital  given  on  Thursday,  May 
27,  1907. 

Mr.  John  M.  Go(tdsell  expressed  his  love  for  the  church  which 
he  had  served  so  long  as  Elder  and  as  Sunday  School  officer,  by  the 
gift,  in  1907,  of  the  Individual  Codnnilinion  Set,  which  has  proved 
so  useful.    He  has  since  entered  into  the  coamulinion  above. 

During  the  pastorate  of  Dr.  Porter  more  than  one  thousand 
names  were  added  to  the  church  roll.  This  is  about  seventy  per  cent 
of  the  entire  list  of  conuuunicants. 

The  largest  number  of  accessions  to  the  church  at  any  one  serv- 
ice, during  its  history,  was  on  Sunday,  February  28,  1886,  after 
the  close  of  a  series  of  revival  services,  conducted  by  W.  H.  Claggett 
and  Ches  Birch  of  St.  Louis,  when  seventy-seven  persons  were  re- 
ceived; the  larger  nuuiber  being  on  confession  of  faith,  of  ^^hom 
about  thirty-five  were  baptized. 

In  August,  1909,  Mr.  Alvin  J.  Cowen,  youngest  son  of  Mr.  John 
D.  CoAven,  presented  to  tliis  church  a  beautiful  Baptismal  Font,  in 
memory  of  his  father,  who  for  twenty-seven  years  served  this  church 
as  an  Elder.

Biographical  Sketch  of  the  Pastors 

BY  DR.  W.  C.  PORTER 

It  would  be  very  pleasant  and  inteiresting  if  we  could  have  a 
complete  sketch  of  the  life,  of  each  man  who  labored  in  "The  day  of 
small  things,"  in  building  up  a  church.  But  such  a  record  is  hard  to 
obtain  after  fifty  years  have  passed  away  and  with  the  years  most  of 
those  whose  character  and  work  we  wo[uld  gladlly  preseiwe.  Early 
records  are  imperfectly  kept  or  neglected  because  we  do  not  perceive 
their  importance  or  future  value.  Much  of  this  article  was  gathered 
from  the  clippings  saved  by  individuals,  especially  Mrs.  A.  H.  Camp- 
bell. 

In  the  summer  of  1859,  Rev.  Mr.  Eankin  of  Buffalo,  N.  Y., 
visited  Fort  Scott  and  organized  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  with 
three  members,  Mrs.  Jane  Smjith,  Mrs.  Alex  McDonald  and  Mr.  J.  S. 
Caulkins.  Mr.  Rankin  remained  for  some  time  with  this  little  band, 
preaching  in  the  old  Military  Hospital  as  frequently  as  the  use  of 
the  building  could  be  secured. 

After  Mr.  Rankin's  departure,  the  church  engaged  Rev.  S.  N. 
Mitchell  of  Missouri,  as  stated  supply.  He  remained  with  them, 
preaching  every  other  Sunday  evening,  until  the  Civil  War  broke 
out,  when  he  left  to  go  with  the  South  where  he  deemed  his  duty 
called  him.  Mr.  Mitchell  afterw^ards  returned  to  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  North,  came  to  Kansas,  joined  the  Presbytery  of  Neosho, 
and  after  several  years  of  labor  within  its  bounds,  died  at  Scamnuon, 
Kansas. 

March,  1861,  Rev.  Austin  Warner  moved  with  his  family  from 
Lexington,  Missouri,  to  Kansas.  He  made  his  home  for  a  time  at 
Mound  City.    Blut  he  soon  secured  a  piece  of  land  near  Fort  Lincoln 


and  settled  upon  it  as  his  permianent  home.  He  preached  at  Fulton. 
Fort  Lincoln,  Pleasant  Hill  and  Mapleton.  During  the  summer  of 
1861,  Mr.  Caulkins  visited  him  to  see  if  some  arrangement  could  not 

be  made  to  supply  the  church  at  Fort  Scott.  The  best  that  could  be 
done  was  to  arrange  for  preaching  once  a  month.  This  was  con- 
tinued until  1865.  In  the  meantime  the  church  and  congregation 
had  increased  in  numbers  and  strength:  the  Town  Company  had 
deeded  two  lots  on  Main  and  Third  sti*eets  to  cetrtain  gentlemen,  as 
trustees,  to  be  held  in  trust  for  the  Presbyerian  Church.  The  peo- 
ple were  agitating  the  question  of  building  a  house  of  worship.   Talk- 

,  ing  with  Alex  McDonald  one  day  about  the  project,  Mr.  Warner 
proposed  to  attend  the  meeting  of  Presbytery  at  Leavenworth  and 
secure,  if  possible,  a  gTant  of  money  fromi  the  Church  Erection  Com- 
mittee. "All  right,"  said  Mr.  ftlcDonakl,  "how  much  can  you  get?" 
Mr.  Warner  replied  "I  do  not  know,  but  shall  ask  for  |500."  Mc- 
Donald's answer  was  "I  will  double  whatever  amount  you  secure." 
Sir.  Warner  drove  from  Fort  Scott  to  Leavenworth,  attended  the 
meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of  Highland,  and  secured  a  grant  of  Five 
Hundred  Dollars.  Thus  the  Avork  was  launched.  Mrs.  A.  H.  Campi- 
bell  says,  "In  1863  the  first  steps  towards  building  were  taken.  Mr. 
William  Smith  was  appointed  treasurer  and  a  subscription  was 
started  which  had  amounted  in  1865  to  |3,200."  In  C.  W.  Good- 
lander's  "Early  Days  of  Fort  Scott"  I  find  this  record :  "In  the  sum- 
mer of  1863  I  built  the  stone  building  across  the  street  opposite  the 
Wilder  House. . .  .The  same  year  I  built  the  first  Church  in  Foirt 
Scott  for  the  Presbyterians."  In  all  this  work  Rev.  Austin  Warner 
was  active  and  continued  to  preach  to  the  congregation.  The  Church 
edifice  was  completed  and  ready  for  occupancy  in  the  fall  of  1865. 
In  that  year  Rev.  Warner  was  elected  to  the  office  of  Superintendent 
of  Public  Instruction  for  Bourbon  County.  As  the  duties  of  the 
office  would  demand  all  his  time,  Mr.  Warner  looked  about  for  a  suc- 
cessoir  who  could  take  charge  of  the  hopeful  and  encouraging  field. 
He  had  known  Rev.  George  A.  Irvin  in  Hanover  College;  knew  his 


page  fifteen 


st-holariy  attainments  and  his  ability  as  a  preacher  and  wrote  to  hinr 
suggesting  that  he  visit  the  city  and  if  the  way  oi>ened,  take  charge 
of  the  Church  and  of  the  Public  School.  The  result  of  the  negotia- 
tions was  that  Mr.  Inin  was  called  as  pastor  and  November  20, 
1865,  preached  the  first  seraion  in, the  new  House  of  Worship,  tiiking 
as  his  text  John,  5th  chapter  and  40th  verse,  "And  ye  will  not  come 
to  me,  that  ye  may  have  life."  The  Church  was  dedicated  by  Rev. 
George  A.  Irvin  December  3,  1865,  sermon  from  Nehemiah  10 :  39, 
"We  will  not  foreake  the  house  of  our  God." 

Mr.  Wai'ner's  relation  to  the  Church  ended  with  the  cofming  of 
iMJr.  Irvin :  but  he  was  peraiitted  to  see,  as  the  resiult  of  the  laUors 
of  himself  and  others,  a  commodious  House  of  Worship  and  an  en- 
thusiastic congregation.  Mr.  Warner  still  lives  in  our  city  and  is 
identified  with  the  work  of  the  Church. 

Rev.  George  A.  Irvin  remained  with  the  Church  for  three  years, 
1865-1868.  He  was  a  strong  man,  ^^ell  equipped  for  his  work  and 
under  his  administration  the  Church  prospered.  From  Fort  Scott 
Mr.  Iiwin  removed  to  Council  Grove  where  he  remained  for  several 
years  as  pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church.  His  health  failing,  he 
went  to  California  where  he  labored  and  at  last,  "full  of  years,"  and 
honored  by  all  who  knew  him  as  a  good  man  and  faithful  sei-vant  of 
the  Church,  he  passed  to  his  reward  in  October,  1897,  at  Anneheim, 
California. 

Rev.  Theodore  Y.  Gardner  was  one  of  the  band  of  eight  young 
men,  who  in  the  summer  of  1868,  came  to  Hansas  from  Union  Semin- 
ary, N:ew  York.  They  were  ordained  to  the  ministry  by  the  Presby- 
tery of  Ozark  in  Kansas  City,  Missouri.  Most  of  them  settled  in  this 
Southeastern  corner  of  Kansas,  in  the  territoi"y  now  embraci'd  in  the 
Presbytery  of  Neosho.  In  October,  1868,  Mr.  Gardner  was  called  to 
the  pastorate  of  the  church  which  was  now  self-supporting.  Mr. 
Gardner  was  a  young  m|an  of  fine  abilities,  but  he  was  not  physically 
strong  and  after  three  years  of  work  with  the  Church  was  obliged 
to  resign.    The  last  of  October,  1871,  he  closed  his  labors  with  this 


church  and  after  a  short  time  far  rest,  took  charge  of  tho  First 
Presbyterian  Church  in  Lawrence,  Kansa^:,  where  he  remained  be- 
tween five  and  six  years.  In  1878  he  returned  to  Ohio  and  became 
pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Hudson,  Ohio.  He  remained 
with  that  church  nine  years,  when  he  resigned  to  take  a  position  as 
Secretary  of  American  Education  Society,  an  organization  of  the 
Congregationalists,  corresponding  to  our  Board  of  Education.  He 
continued  in  this  office  tem  years.  His  health  being  very  poor,  he  re- 
signed this  arduous  and  responsible  office  and  became  the  Pastor  of 
the  Presbytei'ian  Church  in  G'lemdlle  a  suburb  of  Cleveland.  After 
two  years  he  was  obliged  to  give  up  this  charge  and  with  it  the  reg- 
ular work  of  the  ministry,  though  he  preached  frequently  for  vacant 
churches.  His  last  years  were  spent  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  where  he 
died  Februai"y,  1900,  after  an  illness  of  ten  days,  "His  end  was 
peace." 

In  November,  1871,  Rev.  W.  C.  Porter,  who  was  just  ending  liis 
six  years  of  ministerial  labor  \\dth  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  in 
Coldwater,  Michigan,  received  a  letter  from  the  elders  of  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church,  signed  by  John  Cassell,  Clerk  of  Session,  in- 
viting him  to  visit  the  Church  as  a  candidate  for  the  pastorate  left 
vacant  by  the  resignation  of  Rev.  T.  Y.  Gardner  in  October.  He  re- 
plied that  if  the  Church  would  do  certain  things  he  would  visit  them 
the  third  Sabbath  in  November.  The  arrangement  was  made  and 
he  came.  He  spent  two  Sabbaths  witli  the  Church  and  the  inteiwen- 
ing  days  visiting  the  members  of  the  congregation.  The  visit  was 
followed  by  a  call  to  serve  the  Church  one  year  as  Stated  Supply  and 
then  if  mutually  satisfied  to  be  installed  as  Pastor.  This  call  was 
accepted  and  Januai*y  1,  1872,  Mr.  Porter  commenced  his  work  as 
Stated  Supply.  November,  1872,  received  a  call  to  settle  as  Pastor 
and  June,  1873,  was  installed  Pastor  over  the  Church  by  a  Com- 
mittee of  Neosho  Presbytery.  He  remained  in  the  service  of  the 
Church  until  August,  190G,  when  Rev.  A.  E.  Vanorden  was  installed 
as  Pastor.     January,  190G,  Mi',  Porter  offered  his  resignation  as 


page  seventeen 


Pastor,  reasons  assigned  "advancing  age  and  physical  infirmities." 
After  some  consultation  the  matter  was  referred  to  a  Committee  and 
the  resignation  was  accepted  the  sajne  to  take  effect  in  April  at  the 
meeting  of  Nfeosho  Presbytery  in  that  month,  and  that  Mr.  Porter 
be  retired  as  Pastor  Emeritus.  Elders  Bright  and  Calhoun  were 
appointed  to  represent  the  Church  in  Presbytery.  At  the  meeting 
in  Pleasanton,  the  miatter  was  discussed,  the  mutual  good  under- 
standing of  the  Church  and  Pastor  as  set  forth  by  the  Committee 
and  Mr.  Porter,  and  on  motion  Presbytery  voted  that  the  relation 
existing  between  Mr.  Porter  and  the  Church  be  changed  from  Pastor 
to  Pastor  Einieritus. 


One  of  the  benedictions  with  which  we  are  all  familiar:  "The 
grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  the  love  of  God,  and  the  com- 
munion of  thei  Holy  Gho.st,  be  with  you  all.    Amen." 


DR.  W.  C.  PORTER 


Dr.  Porter's  Life  With  This  Church 


On  November,  1.871,  the  cburcli  being  vaoant  by  the  resignation 
of  Rev.  T.  Y.  Gardner,  the  Session  met  in  the  church  to  consider 
calling  a  supply.  There  were  present  Rev.  James  Lewis,  of  Hum*- 
boldt,  as  Moderator,  John  Cassell,  J.  N.  Binford,  J.  M.  Bright  and 
two  corresjwnding  members,  J.  M.  Ferguson  and  J.  L.  Westervelt. 

The  Moderator  and  Mr.  Westei'velt  each  presented  the  name  of 
a  person  he  regarded  as  fitted  for  the  place,  and  these  were  the  only 
names  presented.  Among  the  qualifications  of  the  man  recomiuended 
by  Dr.  Lewis  was  that  he  was  a  skilled  musician,  and  could  lead  the 
singing  or  play  accomlpaniments.  Mr.  Westervelt  discreetly  made 
no  allusion  to  the  musical  accomplishments  of  his  man,  but  one 
thing  he  did  say,  which  so  impressed  his  hearers  that  a  correspond- 
ence was  begun  then  and  there  which  resulted  la  William  (\  Porter 
becoming  Pastor  of  the  First  Church  of  Fort  Scott.  That  remark 
was,  that  he  never  entered  the  pulpit  without  preparation. 

After  nearly  thirty-five  years  of  active  service  his  parishioners 
can  veli'ify  the  stateaneut.  The  following  appears  in  the  minutes  of 
that  date:  "On  motion  the  stated  Clerk,  John  Cassell,  was  instruct- 
ed to  invite  Rev.  W.  C.  Porter,  of  Coldwater,  Michigan,  to  visit  us 
with  a  view  to  the  pastorate.  ETe  came,  held  service  two  Sabbaths, 
visited  the  people,  and  soon  after  returning  hoinc  received  and  ac- 
cepted a  call  to  supply  the  church,  entering  upon  "nhat  proved  to  be 
his  life  work  on  January  1st,  1872.  No  other  name  was  ever  con- 
sidered, and  no  other  church  visited,  which  shows  the  extent  of  the 
candidacy  business  of  the  unworldly  wise  people  of  those  days.  He 
was  installed  as  regular  pastor  in  January,  1873.

In  the  Biographical  Sketch  by  Dr.  Portor,  lie  fully  derails  the 
incidents  attending  his  assuming  and  laying  down  the  burden  af  the 
pastorate. 

The  task  of  attempting  to  record  some  of  the  important  work 
of  Dr.  Porter  and  his  wife  in  theJong  and  eventful  interim,  and  to 
give  a  brief  history  of  his  life  before  coming  here,  has  been  assigned 
by  the  Session  to  the  writer. 

Were  this  intended  for  the  present  day  readers  it  would  not  be 
■n-ritt#n.  To  tell  them  anything  about  these  two,  whose  lives  are 
open  books,  read  by  all,  would  be  Idle.  But  as  this  volume  is  a 
brief  history  of  the  first  fifty  years  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church, 
it  would  be  Incomplete  without  a  sketch  of  the  life  of  one  who  was 
its  Pastor  for  over  two-thirds  of  that  time  and  the  most  conspicu- 
ous figure  in  its  history. 

W.  C.  Porter  was  born  on  the  Isle  of  Jersey.  Soon  aftei-wards 
the  family  came  to  this  country  and  located  near  the  then  town  of 
Chicago,  Illinois.  The  father,  also  a  minister,  was  received  into  the 
Presbytery  of  Chicago  ^\"here  he  labored  for  over  forty  years. 

The  son  William,  desirous  of  lightening  the  father's  burden 
in  maintaining  a  large  family,  and  paying  for  his  own  education, 
at  the  age  of  fifteen  entered  the  seiTice  of  a  blacksmith,  and  became 
an  expert  horse-shoer.  This  served  a  good  purpose  later  as  while  in 
college  and  seminary,  he  frequently  shed  horses,  mornings,  evenings 
and  Saturdays,  somtimes  making  |5.00  a  day. 

In  his  18t.h  year  he  entered  Knox  College,  Galesburg;  thence 
after  four  years  to  Wabash,  and  thence  after  one  year  to  Lane  Semi- 
nary, where  he  remained  two  years. 

In  June  1859  the  Presbytery  of  Chicago  (N.  S.)  licensed  him 
to  preach,  and  in  October  of  that  year,  on  the  recommendation  of 
Dr.  R.  T\1.  Patterson,  he  accepted  a  call  to  the  church  of  Plymouth, 
Indiana..  The  Presbytery  of  St.  Joseph  (N.  S.)  in  w"hich  that 
church  was  located  oflaiued  him  in  the  spring  of  1860. 


In  July  '61  he  enlisted  in  the  20th  Ind.  Vol.  Infantry,  and  was 
at  once  elected  Chaplain  of  the  regiment.  He  ministered  to  the 
wounded  and  dying  at  Gettysburg,  Petersburg,  Malvern  Hill  and 
all  the  engagements  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac.  He  witnessed 
the  engagement  between  the  Merrimac  and  Little  Monitor,  and  was 
at  the  front  when  Lee  surrendered. 

When  mustered  out  in  July,  18G5,  he  returned  to  his  old  home 
in  Naperville,  111.,  and  in  December  of  the  same  year  accepted  a  call 
to  the  church  of  Coldwater,  Mich.,  which  he  served  for  six  years, 
when  he  came  to  Fort  Scott. 

He  was  soon  made  a  member  of  the  Bloard  of  Home  Missions 
of  Presbytery  and  for  eighteen  years  was  Chairman.  At  that  time 
the  Synod  of  Kansas  included  the  whole  of  Oklahoma  Territory 
and  a  part  of  Texas,  and  the  Presbytery  embraced,  besides  about 
twelve  counties  in  southeastern  Eansas,  that  part  of  Oklahoma  in 
which  were  the  mission  schools  and  churches  of  the  Cherokees, 
Creeks  and  Seminoles.  With  all  these  activities  his  committee  had 
to  keep  in  touch.  Sometimes  hours  and  days  were  spent  over  the 
problem  of  how  to  make  a  few  thousand  dollars  of  the  Board's  funds 
do  the  work  of  many  thousands.  He  often  visited  these  churches 
and  schools,  helping  them  in  their  efforts.  He  organized  five 
churches,  and  dedicated  four  houses  of  worship. 

In  his  home  county  also  work  has  been  done  which,  though  in 
some  instances  has  not  met  expectations,  owing  to  the  changes  and 
removals  incident  to  a  new  country,  is  leaving  its  impress  on  suc- 
ceeding generations. 

In  March,  1872,  Mr.  Porter  held  a  week's  special  service  at  Un- 
iontown  and  in  May  following  he  and  Kev.  James  Lewis  organized 
there  a  church  of  eighteen  miembers.  After  some  reverses  and 
changes,  this  church  is  now  happily  nestled  in  the  pretty  little  valley 
of  Petersburg  and  is  one  of  the  most  prosperous  little  country 
churches  in  the  Presbytery.

In  the  hard,  times  of  '74-'75,  grasshopper  years,  the  church  was 
sorely  pressed.  In  the  spring  of  1875  Dr.  Porter  was  considering  an 
urgent  recall  from  the  Church  of  Coldwater.  One  May  morning 
some  of  the  elders  and  trustees  called  at  the  parsonage  to  discuss 
the  situation.  The  outlook  was  discouraging.  Myriads  of  young 
hoppers  \\'ere  devouring  everything  and  there  was  not  a  green  thing 
in  sight.  When  it  was  impressed  upon  Mr.  and  Mts.  Porter  by  an 
urgent  appeal,  how  the  future  welfare  of  the  church  depended  upon 
their  remaining  they  not  only  decided  to  do  so,  but  he  voluntarily 
reduced  his  salaiy  for  an  indefinite  time.  It  is  a  matter  of  history 
that  in  the  latter  part  of  May  the  hoppers  vanished  as  suddenly  as 
they  came,  and  the  corn  crop  that  year  beat  all  records. 

In  '79  and  80,  with  Pvev.  J.  W.  Talbott,  the  districts  of  Fair- 
moaiut  and  Fish  Creek  were  visited,  services  held  and  in  August, 
1880,  the  church  of  Glendale  was  organized.  They  also  at  intei-vals 
held  special  service  in  the  Gilfillan  neighboi'hood,  which  was  first 
visited  at  an  early  day  by  Kev.  T.  Y.  Gardner  and  an  elder.  Today 
some  of  the  best  blood  in  the  veins  of  our  First  Church  is  from  these 
Glendale  and  Gilfillan  sources. 

In  the  spring  of  1888  work  on  the  edifice  of  the  new  First 
Church  was  begun  and  in  September  of  the  same  year  was  dedicated 
by  Dr.  F.  S.  McCabe  of  Topeka.    , 

In  April,  1889,  a  chiu'ch  was  organized  at  Fulton,  Kansas,  and 
in  1901,  largely  through  the  efforts  of  a  zealous  band  of  ladies,  a 
neat  house  of  worship  was  finished,  furnished  and  dedicated. 

For  a  man  of  Dr.  Porter's  appearance  his  power  of  endurance 
wias  gTcat.  One  man  who  voted  against  calling  him,  to  Fort  Scott 
afterwards  told  him  that  he  did  it  because  he  did  not  want  the 
church  to  have  a  preacher's  funeral  on  hands  so  soon.  He  endured 
the  hardship  of  army  life  with  scarcely  a  day's  sickness.  In  all  the 
years  of  his  pastorate  he  never  failed  of  an  appointment  on  accooint 
of  illness,  save  once,  when  on  his  way  to  the  train  for  Wabash  col- 
lege where  he  was  to  deliver  an  address,  he  was  thrown  from  a  car- 


page  twenty-two 


riage  and  sustained  an  injury  that  prevented  his  going.  Day  or 
night,  in  all  kinds  of  weather  he  would  i*espond  to  a  call  to  go  any- 
where, often  far  out  in  the  country,  to  preach  the  funeral  of  a  little 
child,  or  perhaps  of  a  stranger.  Compensation  he  rarely  got  and 
never  exjiected.  He  esteemed  it  a  privilege  to  do  these  things  in  the 
Master's  name. 

But  why  prolong  this  record.  Porter — \Fort  Scott — To  our 
people  throughout  Neosho  Presbytery  and  the  Synod  of  Kansas, 
these  two  names  are  familiar  and  inseparably  connectedu 

Through  the  life  and  influence  of  the  former  may  the  cburch 
of  the  latter  namje,  stand  for  a  purer  religion  and  a  truer  Presbyter- 
ianislm. 

As  his  wife  shared  in  his  labors  here  and  has  entered  into 
eternal  rest,  it  is  the  desire  of  the  people  to  record  some  expression 
of  her  worth.  She  was  an  ideal  minister's  wife,  if  that  consists  in 
giving  her  life  to  the  cause.  Like  King  Samuel's  ideal,  "She  looketh 
well  to  the  ways  of  her  household,  and  eateth  not  the  bread  of  idle- 
ness." 

The  Manse  was  the  stopping  place  of  all  the  ministers  seeking 
information  from  the  Chairman  of  the  Home  Mission  Board.  While 
neglecting  no  duty  to  home  or  children,  she  found  time  to  assist  in 
all  the  social  functions  of  the  church;  attend  the  meetings  of  the 
Ladies'  Society,  and  of  the  Missionary  Society,  which  she  assisted  in 
organizing  and  of  which  she  was  for  years  the  President;  to  play 
the  organ  or  sing  in  the  choir ;  to  instruct  many  pupils  in  music ;  to 
teach  a  class  of  boys  in  Sunday  School  of  whom  many  will  testify  to 
her  devotion  and  hold  her  in  loving  remembrance. 

Enfeebled  by  labor  while  yet  comparatively  young  in  years  her 
last  days  were  spent  in  the  quiet  of  home.  Truly  she  was  glad  when 
they  said  unto  her  let  us  go  up  to  the  house  of  the  Lord.  When 
scarcely  able  to  walk  the  short  distance  to  the  church,  she  insisted 
on  going  to  the  services  up  to  the  last  Sabbath  before  her  death. 
This  article  cannot  be  so  well  closed  as  bv  the  following  fromi  one

who  knew  hei"  better  and  loved  her  more  than  all  others — her  hus- 
band: [ 

Lucinda  Isabella  Cunulughain,  daughter  of  Rev.  John  Whitr 
field  and  Elizabeth  Severe  Cunningham,  was  born  at  Jonesborough, 
Tennessee,  March  15th,  1841.  Her  father  was  of  Scotch  Irish  stock 
and  her  mother  of  French  Huguenot.  Mrs.  Cunningham's  father 
was  Col.  John  Severe,  the  first  Governor  of  Tennessee,  who  led  the 
Tennessee  liifletmen  against  the  British  forces  in  that  deicisive  battle 
at  Kings  Mountain  which  compelled  the  British  to  evacuate  the 
Carolinas.  Thus,  on  both  sides  of  the  house,  she  inherited  the  best 
Calvinistic  ajid  Presbyterian  traditions.  Of  Mr.  Cunningham's 
family,  three  of  his  brothers  were  Presbyterian  ministers  in  Tenn- 
essee and  Georgia,  though  J.  W.  Cunningham  came  to  Indiana  in 
au  early  day  and  ^\'as  professor  of  sacred  languages  and  literature  in 
the  College  and  Seminary  at  Hanover,  Indiana.  ^YSlen  he  resigned 
his  chair  in  the  College  it  was  to  take  charge  of  the  (iN.  S.)  Presby- 
terian Church  at  La  Porte,  Indiana.  Here  Lucinda  spent  most  of 
her  young  life.  After  a  long  pastorate,  the  family  moved  to  Naper- 
ville,  Illinois,  which  became  the  family  home  and  where  M'r.  Cun- 
ningham ended  his  life  and  service  as  minister  of  the  Congregational 
Church. 

November  27th,  1866,  Lucinda  A^as  luaiTied  to  W.  C.  Porter,  at 
that  time  pastor  of  tlie  Presbyterian  Cliurch  at  Coldwater,  Michigan. 
They  went  at  once  to  their  field  of  labor  and  never  was  a  young  min- 
ister's wife  received  jnore  graciously  or  treated  more  tenderly  by  a 
loving  people.  Wheji  in  the  Providence  of  God  they  left  the  field, 
she  was  accustomed  to  say,  in  speaking  of  our  life  in  Coldwater, 
"Those  were  my  white  bread  and  butter  days."  Her  love  for  the 
Church  was  as  strong  as  their  love  for  her.  A  lady  writing  of  her 
first  appearance  among  the  people  forty  years  after  the  event,  wrote, 
"She  won  all  our  hearts  that  first  day;  we  loved  her." 

They  came  to  Fort  Scott  December,  1871,  and  commenced  work 
with  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  Januaa'y  1st,  1872.  This  was 
her  hoiule,  here  was  the  scene  of  her  labors  until  she  "joined  the  choir 
invisible,"  February  7th,  1909.

REV.  ALFRED  E.  VANORDEN 


..%.^v:iM■; 


Rev.  Alfred  E.  Vanorden 

FOURTH  AND  PRESENT  PASTOR 

To  complete  the  biographical  and  historical  sketches  of  the 
Pastors,  it  is  essential  that  the  life  and  pastorate  of  Kev.  Vanorden 
be  included,  without  infringing  the  delicate  rules  that  restrict  the 
friendly  biographer  of  one  still  living. 

Alfred  E.  Vanorden  was  born  in  Sao  Paulo,  Brazil,  on  August 
31st,  1873.  His  parents,  Kev.  and  Mrs.  E.  Vanorden  (Emanuel 
Vanorden  and  Bertha  Doebelj^,  went  as  missionaries  to  Brazil, 
in  1872,  and  still  reside  there.  Mr.  Vanordeu's  early  education  was 
obtained  in  Eio  Orande  do  Sul,  a  city  in  the  Southern  portion  of 
Brazil,  where  his  father  was  the  first  Protestant  minister  and 
labored  for  ten  years.  His  education  was  completed  in  Europe 
where  he  went  in  1887.  Two  years  were  spent  in  Mulhouse,  Alsace, 
Germany,  and  sis  years  in  Geneva,  Switzerland.  In  the  latter  city 
he  completed  his  classical  course  in  1892,  graduated  from  the  Ecole 
Prepai'atoire.  After  graduation  he  went  back  to  Saa  Paulo,  Braisil, 
where  he  had  a  taste  of  commercial  business  experience  for 
one  year.  In  the  fall  of  1893  he  was  back  in  Geneva  and  entered  the 
Ecole  de  Theologie,  from  which  institution  he  received  the  degree 
of  B.  D.  in  1896  after  the  completion  of  his  Seminary  course.  He 
also  took  special  work  in  literature  and  languages  at  the  University 
of  Geneva.  Coming  to  this  country  after  leaving  Europe,  Mr.  Van- 
orden wetnt  to  Chicago:  for  a.  year  of  post-graduate  study  in  Mc- 
Cormick  Theological  Seminary.  In  1905  the  degree  of  M.  A.  was 
conferred  upon  him  by  Maiyville  College  of  special  Avork. 

Mr.  Vanordeu's  first  efPorts  at  preaching  were  made  during  the 
year  spent  in  Brazil,  between  his  collegiate  and  seminary  courses. 


page  twenty-five 


He  would  preach  occasioually  at  a  Mission  established  by  his  father 
in  the  suburbs  of  Sao  Paulo.  While  in  the  Seminary  he  preached 
occasionally  to  churches  in  France  and  SAvitzerland.  Dui'ing  two 
summer  vacations  spent  in  Belgium  he  supplied  for  both  the  State 
and  Free  Evangelical  churches. 

In  June,  1897,  he  accepted  a  call  to  supply  the  Presbyterian 
churches  of  Centervie^v  and  High  Point,  Missouri,  which  he  served 
one  year.  On  October  8th,  1897,  in  tlie  Presbyterian  Church  of 
Centerviw,  Missouri,  he  was  ordained  to  the  ministry  by  the  Pres- 
bytery of  Kansas  City,  having  been  dismissed  to  this  Presbytery  by 
the  Presbytery  of  Chicago,  of  which  he  was  a  licentiate.  From 
Centerview  he  went  to  Appleton  City,  Missouri,  where  he  supplied 
the  Presbyterian  Church  for  nearly  two'  and  one-half  years. 

On  November  23rd,  1898,  Mr.  Vanorden  was  united  in  marriage 
to  Miss  Lulu  R.  Christopher,  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  G.  K.  Chris- 
topher, at  Warrensburg,  Missouri,  whei'e  she  had  lived  from  child- 
hood. 

In  the  year  1900,  Mr.  Vanorden  received  and  accepted  a  call  to 
the  i^astorate  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Cherrj^^ale,  Kansas,  and 
began  work  in  October  1st,  1900.  Here  he  remained  until  August 
1st,  1906,  when  he  mioved  to  Fort  Scott  to!  become  the  pastor  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church.  The  Presbj-tery  of  Neosho,  through  a 
committee  previously  appointed,  installed  him  as  pastor  of  this 
church  in  September,  1906.  The  following  ministers  participated  in 
the  installation  seiwice: 

Rev.  E.  A.  Bess  i>reached  the  seiinon;  Rev.  W.  C.  Pointer  pro- 
pounded the  constitutional  questions  and  delivered  the  charge  to 
the  jjastor-elect ;  Re^^  B.  C.  McQueston  gave  tlie  chai'ge  to  the  con- 
gregation, and  Rev.  H.  G.  Matthis  offered  the  prayer  of  installation. 

After  three  years  of  labor  with  and  among  us,  the  church  as  a 
whole  feel  that  no  mistake  was  made  in  the  choice  of  a  Pastor.  We 
realize  that  w  have  a  man  of  quickly  ripening  powers,  and  with  the 
energy  and  enthusiasm  of  vigorous  young  manhood,  highly  cultured, 
an  accomplished  musician,  with  genial  and  winning  personality,  his 
work  has  been  successful  in  the  largest  sense,  and  with  the  blessing 
of  God,  the  future  outlook  is  very  encouraging.  — J.  H.  P.

Reports  of  the  Different  Branches 
of  Church  Work 

The  following  papers  have  been  separately  compiled  by  mem- 
bers of  the  diffeirent  organizations  whose  work  is  thus  presented. 

HISTORY  OF  THE  SABBATH  SCHOOL 

In  the  autumn  of  1859,  a  Sabbath  school  was  organized  in  Fort 
Scott  in  the  Hospital  building  on  the  Plaza  with  Mr.  J.  S.  Caulkins 
and  Mrs.  Alex  McDonald  as  ruling  officers.  The  former,  who  was 
agent  for  a  Bible  Society,  provided  the  school  with  Bibles,  song 
books,  and  a  vei-y  good  lil>rary.  This  school  was  continued  until 
the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War,  when  the  Hospital  building  was 
needed  by  the  Government. 

The  Sabbath  school  had  no  other  home  until  in  the  year  18fi3, 
the  Stone  City  Hal'l  was  built  at  the  comer  of  Second  and  National 
avenue,  where)  the  Carnegie  Library  building  now  stands.  Here 
the  school  was  reorganized  with  S.  O.  Goodlander  as  superintendent. 
Services  were  held  regularly  in  this  building  until  the  Presbyterian 
church  was  completed  in  1865,  when  it  was  moved  there,  continuing 
as  a  union  school  until  the  Jlethodist  church  was  built.  At  this 
time  it  had  a  membership  of  about  one  hundred  and  fifty. 

After  the  withdrawal  of  the  Methodists  and  S.  O.  Goodlander, 
W.  J.  Bawden  was  chosen  superintendent,  sen'ing  for  about  three 
years.  He  was  succeeded  by  J.  N.  Binford,  who  served  four  years, 
or  untfl  1873,  when  J.  M.  Bright  took  up  the  duties  of  Superintend- 
ent, and  served  for  nineteen  years.  During  this  period  the  Sab- 
bath school  made  a  steady  gro\\i:h,  due  to  the  untiring  efforts  of  the 
superintendent,  and  teaching  force. 

In  1879,  the  pressing  need  of  more  room  for  the  Sabbath  school 
suggested  the  idea  of  an  addition  to  the  church,  for  the  use  of  the 
primary  class.     The  teacher  of  this  class,  Miss  Eliza  Hawley,  was 


page  thirty-five 


most  active  in  the  efforts  to  raise  the  funds,  contributing  liberally, 
and  soliciting  money  from  her  friends  in  the  East.  The  result  was 
an  ample  addition,  at  a  cost  of  .f300.75,  and  an  increased  attendance 
at  the  school,  which  soon  aftei"wards  secured  the  greatest  increase 
in  its  history. 

Mr.  W.  P.  Dilworth  and  Mr.  Jesse  B.  Smith  neixt  followed  as 
Supt.,  serving  one  year  each.  Both  served  the  Sunday  school  for 
yeai's  in  other  capacities  while  in  our  midst,  and  at  the  rem<>val  of 
the  formal',  and  the  death  of  the  latter  the  school  felt  keenly  the  loss 
of  their  earnest  efforts. 

Mr.  J.  A.  Lindley  was  next  pressed  into  service  as  Supt.  He 
gave  much  time  and  energy  to  the  work,  and  remained  in  office  for 
two  years. 

Mr.  W.  J.  Calhoun  succeeded  Mr.  Lindley  in  the  year  1895,  and 
is  still  in  office  putting  forth  every  effort  for  the  spiritual  growth 
and  uplift  of  the  school. 

In  1890-92  the  school  again  rea,lized  thel  need  for  a  Sabbath 
school  room,  in  order  that  work  might  be  enlarged,  and  in  the  year 
1904,  the  Chapel  was  added  to  our  present  church  edifice  .  The  great- 
est benefit  being  derived  from  its  numerons  class  divisions. 

Grace  G.  Redfield  and  Fanny  Q.  McDonald  hold  the  banner 
record  for  leng-th  of  service  in  this  department,  as  they  are  the  only 
Imembers  of  the  Sabbath  school  at  the  present  time  who  entered  the 
infant  class  while  Mr.  Bawden  was  Supt.,  and  have  held  continuous 
membership,  as  pupils,  as  teacher  and  as  officer ;  Miss  Redfield  hav- 
ing done  most  efficient  work  as  teacher,  while  Miss  McDonald  has 
borne  for  several  years,  with  imvarying  cheerfulness,  the  vicissitudes 
incident  to  holding  the  office  of  Secretary  of  the  Sabbath  school. 

In  a  Setmi-Centennial  book  it  is  necessary  not  only  to  review 
the  past,  but  to  give  some  account  of  the  present  conditions  in  order 
that  the  comtpleted  record  may  serve  as  a  starting  point  for  future 
historians  of  the  church.  If  our  school  was  to  be  judged  solely  by 
its  niimbers  it  M^ould  not  stand  so  well  at  present  as  we  might  wish, 
but  the  conditions  which  the  school  has  to  meet  now  are  very  differ- 
ent from  what  they  were  in  the  '60s  and  '70s.  By  careful  examina- 
tion of  the  membership  during  the  past  fifty  years,  it  is  shown  that 


there  are  less  children  in  the  congregation  and,  fe^ver  who  live  near 
enough  to  the  church  to  conveniently  attend  our  school.  W^e  have 
enrolled  at  present  two  hundred  and  sixty-one  pupils,  beside  a  homie 
department  numbering  one  hundred  and  twenty,  and  it  is  safe  to 
say  that  the  school  is  sending  as  large  a  proportion  of  our  congrega- 
tion as  in  previous  years. 

Numbers  alone,  however,  are  not  the  sole  or  even  the  best  test. 
It  is  the  work  which  is  now  and  has  been  accomplished  by  the 
school  that  brings  us  encouragment.  The  spii*it  of  earnestness,  of 
devotion,  and  of  zeal  in  the  Miaster's  cause,  on  the  part  of  the 
teachers,  and  their  hearty  cooperation  with  the  Supt.  is  worthy  of 
especial  note. 

Just  a  word  as  to  the  future:  A  strong  Sabbath  school  in  the 
church  is  a  healthy  sign.  A  small  weak  Sabbath  school  portends  a 
struggle  for  the  church  in  days  to  come,  as  a  large  majority  of  the 
leaders  in  all  departments  of  church  work  have  receivetl  their  train- 
ing in  the  Sabbath  school.  With  more  zeal  for  the  future  good  of 
our  people,  let  us  as  members  of  the  Presbyterian  church  enter  into 
the  work  of  training  our  young  people  to  love  our  cmi  church  home 
and  to  take)  a  part  in  its  activities. 

The  present  officers  are  as  follofws : 

Sui)erintendent,  W.  J.  Calhoun. 

Asst.  Supts.,  Miss  Lucy  A.  \\'bre,  C.  W.  Penniman. 

Secretary,  Fanny  McDonald. 

Treasurer,  J.  D.  Mead. 

Supt.  of  Holme  Department,  Mrs.  O.  V.  Jones. 

A  review  of  the  early  life  of  the  Sabbatii  school  would  not  be 
complete  without  mentioning  the  name  of  S.  B.  Gardner,  who  has 
recently  removed  to  California  .  He  vras  connected  with  our  school 
for  more  than  thirty  years,  twenty-five  of  which  were  spent  as  teacher 
of  the  infant  class  of  boys,  and  we  can  truly  say  that  the  life  of  few, 
if  any,  of  the  teachers  in  this  department,  have  left  ai  deeper  iinpress 
upon  the  lives  of  the  young  under  their  care.  His  loss  has  been 
keenly  felt  by  the  school.

SABBATH  SCHOOL  MISSION  WORK 

The  great  Teacher  said  "One  man  soweth  and  another  reapeth," 
"Other  men  labored,  and  ye  are  entered  into  their  labors."  Some  of 
the  members  of  the  Presbyterian  church  in  the  city  of  Fort  Scott  in 
the  year  1870  and  some  years  after,  made  sporadic  visits  to  some 
of  the  Sabbath  schools  held  in  country  school-houses.  Those  A'isited 
were  Lath  Branch,  held  in  a  log  school  house,  Godfrey  school  in  the 
home  of  Mr.  Konantz,  Bethel  school,  where  Mr.  Wnu  Lee  was  the 
faithful  superintendeut.  In  the  year  1874,  Independence  was  vis- 
ited, also  Clarksburgh,  where  P.  P.  Perry  was  one  of  the  leading 
meaubers. 

In  the  year  1870,  Solon  L.  Goode  organized  and  conducted  a 
Sabbath  school  in  a  frame  school  house  in  the  east  side  of  the  city. 
This,  at  the  time,  was  the  only  school  house  in  East  Fort  Scott.  Mr. 
Goode  was  assisted  in  his  work  by  S.  B.  Gardner,  Win.  P.  Dilworth 
and  others. 

In  the  year  1886,  Vil.  J.  Calhoun  opened  a  Sabbath  school  in 
the  Skating  rink  building  in  the  north-east  part  of  the  town,  and 
was  aided  by  E.  R.  Chenault,  Thos.  Brown,  Mrs.  Isabel  Gallaher, 
Miss  Mina  Bates,  Miss  Ella  Sergeant,  and  others.  Much  interest 
and  enthusiasm  was  shown  and  the  school  had  a  large  attendance 
but  was  discontinued  later  when  neighboring  churches  were  erected. 
A  Sabbath  school  was  also  opened  at  the  corner  of  Hill  and 
Wall  streets  conducted  by  J.  A.  Lindley,  Supt.,  assisted  by  John 
Connor,  Mrs.  Isabel  Gallaher  and  others.  Much  interes't  was  shown 
in  the  large  attendance  of  children  and  adults. 

In  Jan.  1887,  Rev.  Austin  Warner,  Mrs.  Bell,  Mrs.  Rogers,  and 
Mr.  S.  A.  Meredith  and  M'ife,  opened  a  small  school  in  an  empty 


page  thirty-eight 


room  on  North  Humboldt  Ave.  which  continued  for  soiue  time  with 
encouraging  results.  C.  M.  Eames  was  chosen  as  Supt.  but  on 
July  29,  of  the  same  year  passed  away  leaving  a  faithful  record. 
He  was  followed  by  S.  A.  Meredith  as  Supt.  These  early  workers 
were  most  diligent  in  visiting  at  the  hom^s  of  the  people.  They 
formed  sewing  societies  and  missiouai"y  organizations  among  them 
which  were  of  great  interest  to  the  women  and  young  people.  Mrs. 
0.  V.  Jones  pei-sonally  visited  from  house!  to  house,  and  was  most 
active  in  the  work  of  the  church  from  the  time  of  its  organization. 

On  Jan.  26,  1888,  two  lots  were  secured  and  in  March  of  the 
same  year  they  sent  a  petition  to  the  Presbytery,  which  met  at 
Pleasanton,  Kan.,  asking  that  body  to  organize  a  church  in  Nortli 
Fort  Scott.  The  Presbytery  named  April  7  as  the  time  for  the 
meeting  to  be  held,  and  consented  to  organize  a  church  if  the  way 
seetoied  clear  for  its  formation.  At  this  meeting  Dr.  W.  C.  Porter, 
Rev.  John  Curren,  Pastor  of  the  Church  at  Girard,  and  Hon.  W.  J. 
Bawden  were  appointed  to  organize  the  church.  J.  A.  Jones,  Sanmel 
Winklefleck  and  C.  Graves  were  ordained  as  Ruling  Elders.  On 
Dec.  16,  1888,  the  Second  Presbyterian  church  was  dedicated,  with 
Re\\  A.  M.  Mliann  of  Louisburgli,  Dr.  Porter,  and  Mr.  J.  B.  Fisher 
as  officiating  ministers.  Rev.  J.  B.  Fisher  was  appointe<l  by  Pres- 
bytery and  the  Board  of  Home  Missions,  as  the  Stated  supply.  He 
was  followed  by  Rev.  John  Cooteir,  and  Rev.  John  Crawford,  who 
successiively  supplied  the  pulpit,  doing  faithful  work  for  serv^eral 
years.  The  results  of  the  faithful  labors  of  Pastors  and  officers 
are  seen  in  the  lives  of  the  men  and  women  who  attended  its  serv- 
ices. 

In  a  duelling  house  on  S.  Crawford  street  a  Sabbath  school 
was  conducted  by  W.  J.  Bawden,  resulting  in  Siufflcient  interest 
to  induce  the  friends  and  workers  to  solicit  funds  for  a  building, 
and  a  year  later  the  Boulevard  Chapel  was  built.  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Cassell,  assisted  hj  Misses  Nettie  'Whrner  and  Clara  Mehneffj  col- 
lected funds  by  personal  solicitation,  and  were  faithful  teachers  in 
school.  W.  J.  Bawden  retained  the  office  of  Supt.  until  his  demise, 
Dec.  19,  1894.  At  this  time  a.  real-estate  collapse  sfwept  over  the 
the  city  and  a  sndden  and  complete  failure  followed,  resulting  in 
the  reniovall  of  both  tenants  and  houses  to  places  nearer  the  city's

center.  The  mission  work  ceased  for  lack  of  support  and  the  Chapel 
building  finally  passed  into  other  hands.  The  good  seed  was  sown 
and,  "Blessed  are  they  that  sow  beside  all  waters,  for  they  shall  find 
jl  aftea"  many  days." 

In  1872,  through  the  influence]  of  Dr.  W.  C.  Porter,  Mr.  John 
Oassell  was  persuaded  to  accept  a  comjmission  from  the  American 
Sunday  School  Union,  an  organization  through  which  our  church 
did  all  of  its  Mission  work  up  to  1883 — for  work  in  Kansas,  Mis- 
souri, Arkansas,  and  Indian  Territory.  He  was  very  successful  in 
this  new  field,  organiziug  about  800  new  Sunday  schools,  besides 
personally  visiting  1751  other  Sunday  schools.  He  also  distiibuted 
more  than  20,000  copies  of  the  Scriptures,  besides  many  thousands 
of  dollars  worth  of  other  Christian  literature. 

These  duties  entailed  the  nece«sity  of  driving  upwards  of  120,000 
miles  through  all  conditions  of  weather  and  wagon  roads;  but  he  re- 
nuaineil  actively  eugaged  in  the  work  for  more  than  thirty  years,  or 
until  the  year  1903.  He  still  receives  his  commission  annually  from 
the  society,  but  confines  his  work  to  a  limited  territory  nearer  home. 

THE  BROTHERHOOD 

Shortly  afteii'  M'r.  Vanorden  assumed  the  pastorate,  he  began  a 
movement  looking  to  an  organized  Avork  among  the  men  of  the 
(Miurch  and  in  September  his  efforts  along  this  line  culminated  in 
the  organization  of  the  Presbyterian  Brotherhood  of  the  First  Pres- 
byterian Church.  This  Brotherhood  is  affiliated  with  the  l^ational 
Brotherhood  of  our  Church  and  its  object  is  to  enlist  men  in  the 
active  ^A-ork  of  the  Church.  The  Brotherhood  has  been  a  success 
from  the  start,  under  the  leadership  of  Rev.  Vanorden  and  has  been 
a  decided  help  to  the  Church. 

The  present  officers  are:  President,  ]M.  F.  Jarrett;  Vice  Presi- 
dent, F.  H.  Foster;  Secretary,  D.  G.  Cobb,  and  Treasurer,  W.  Telmp- 
ler. 

SOCIETY  OF  CHRISTIAN  ENDEAVOR 

Beiginning  with  the  year  1884,  a  wave  of  religious  enthusiasm 
among  the  .^oung  pelople  swept  over  the  whole  country  and  in  the 
winter  of  1885-86  our  church  was  greatly  blessed  during  the  revival

senices  conducted  by  Vv'.  H.  Claggett  aad  Chess  Birch.  As  a  result 
of  these  services  the  young  people  organized  a  society  called  the 
Young  Peoples  Christian  Union,  with  Al  T.  Weaver  as  president. 
Intense  interest  was  manifested  and  most  efficient  work  was  accomp- 
lished. 

In  1888,  the  society,  after  due  consideration,  accepted  the 
pledge  and  comstitution  of  the  Christian  Endeavor,  and  the  name 
was  changed  to  Y.  P.  S.  C.  E. 

The  interest  manifested  at  the  organization  seemed  to  increase 
and  bear  fruit  in  the  hearts  and  lives  of  many  of  its  nieaubers.  For 
the  first  twelve  or  fifteen  years  wonderful  work  was  accomplished, 
and  as  the  society  grew  in  age,  and  was  less  spasmodic  in  the  acces- 
sion of  numbers,  it  settled  down  to  a  steady  benevolent  work,  which 
it  has  continued  uninterruptedly.  Contributions  have  been  sent  to 
mission  fields,  Christmas  boxes  to  needy  westei'n  districts,  box  of 
supplies  and  offering  of  money  to  Dwight  Mission,  while  local  needs 
have  also  received  attention.  In  June,  1907,  a  large  amount  was 
raised  to  purchase  a  launch,  named  "The  Fort  Scott  C.  E.",  to  be 
used  in  mission  work  in  Brazil. 

The  regular  services  of  this  society  have  always  been  of  great 
benefit  to  those  who  regulaidy  attended  them,  and  we  fully  believe 
that  the  main  objects  for  which  the  C.  E.  was  first  organized,  have 
been  attained. 

The  present  officers  are:  President,  Ruth  Keene,  Vice  Presi- 
dent, Edw.  W.  DeWein;  Secretary,  Harold  Calhoun;  Treasurer,  Ida 
DeWiein. 

JUNIOR  0.  E.  SOCIETY 

Just  previous  to  the  organization  of  the  Junior  C.  E.  Society 
the  younger  children  of  the  church  were  fonned  into  a  sociefy  called 
"The  Mission  Band,"  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  J.  A.  Budd,  who 
retained  this  office  for  two  years,  and  was  then  followed  by  Miss 
Augusta  Peirsonand  Miss  Alice  Porter  as  leaders.  The  officers  of 
the  society  ^lere  chosen  from  among  the  children,  the  first  names 
recorded  being,  President,  Helen  Calhoun ;  Secretary,  Ethelyn  Rice, 
Treasurer,  Carroll  McMath. 

Their  gifts  to  missions  consisted  of  their  penny  collections  and 
moneys  raised  in  various  ways.

The  ejai'ly  records  of  the  Junior  C.  E.  as  to  its  organization  and 
leadership  ai*e  very  incaiuplete,  but  it  dates  back  about  as  far  as  the 
Mission  Band.  The  work  of  the  society  has  been  very  successful 
from  the  first,  and  they  are  still  most  earnest  and  active  in  their 
efforts  along  many  lines.  Leaders  have  been  chosen  from  among 
the  earnest  workers  in  the  C.  li  Society,  two  of  whom,  the  Hisses 
Katherine  DeWein  and  Jennie  Cowen,  deserve  special  mention  for 
the  length  of  time  given  to  the  work. 

A  large  amount  has  been  raised  by  the  little  ones,  and  good 
sums  have  been  sent  to  the  mission  fields  at  Sitka,  Alaska,  Kodoli, 
India,  and  Dnvight  Mission,  while  a  generous  donation  was  made  to 
our  new  Y.  M.  0.  A. 

Unusual  interest  has  been  manifested  under  the  leadership  of 
Mrs.  O.  V.  Jones  and  Ed^^'ard  W.  DeWein,  who  are  their  present 
Supelrintendents.  The  officers  for  1909  are:  President,  Fannie 
Irvine;  Vice  President,  Dora  Cassell;  Secretary,  Margaret  Nutz, 

THE  WOMAN'S  MISSIONAKY  SOCIETY 

More  than  thirty  years  ago  a  few  devout  women  met  at  the 
home  of  Mrs.  llan*iet  Dilworth  and  engaged,  in  i>rayer  for  their  be- 
loved church.  Mrs.  Dilworth  was  an  earnest  and  zealous  worker 
for  the  spread  of  the  gospel  and  she  knew  the  poiwer  of  prayer.  These 
meetings  were  held  regularly,  and  after  the  prayer  service  the  con- 
versation was  along  the  line  of  Missions.  These  earnest  souls  were 
seeking  to  follow  the  command,  "Go  ye  into  all  the  world  and  preach 
the  gospel  to  every  creature." 

These  meetings  were  carried  on  for  many  years  with  Mrs.  Dil- 
worth as  their  moving  spirit.  They  were  announced  in  the  notices 
from  the  pulpit  as  the  ladies'  prayer  meeting. 

Mrs.  I>ilw<M'th  was  honored  by  being  elected  to  represent  this 
church  in  the  organization  of  the  Women's  Presbyterial  Missionary 
Society,  at  the  session  of  the  Presbytery  of  Neosho,  at  Chetopa,  Kan- 
sas, March  9,  1881,  being  sent  by  the  Session  and  acting  in  this 
capacity,  she  was  the  first  woman  delegate  sent  out  from  this  church. 

After  this  organization  of  the  ilissionary  Society,  the  meetings 
here  were  carried  on  every  two  weeks,  as  long  as  Mrs.  Dilworth 
lived.     Out  of  thesei  prayer  meetings  grew  the  desire  for  greater 


work  in  Hdme  and  Foreign  Missions,  and  the  Ladies'  Missionary  So- 
ciety was  organized  April  30,  ISSG,  in  tlie  old  church  on  the  corner 
of  Third  and  Main  streets,  where  the  faithful  ones  had  toiled  and 
prayed.  Theiir  prayera  were  answered,  for  in  a  few  years  this  be- 
loved pioneer  church  was  too  small  for  the  increasing  numbers  that 
thronged  its  doors  for  entrance. 

This  society  was  auxiliary  to  the  Presbyterian  Board  of  Mis- 
sions. At  its  first  meeting,  the  following  officers  werei  elected :  Pres., 
Miss  Helen  Chenault;  Vice  Pres.,  Mrs.  W.  C.  Porter;  Secy,  and 
Treas.,  Mrs.  Has  Clark.  After  the  third  meeting  the  presidemt  re- 
signed, and  the  vice  president,  Mrs.  W.  C.  Porter,  assumed  the  duties 
of  the  office,  and  held  that  position  for  over  fifteen  years,  as  their 
much  loved  and  successful  leader. 

At  the  meeting  of  Feb.  25,  1887,  the  society  chose  Miss  Helen 
Chenault  as  their  first  delegate,  to  attend  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
board  of  the  Southwest. 

The  society  prospered  and  at  the  close  of  the  first  year  the 
enrollment  comprised  the  following  twenty-four  names:  Miss  Helen 
Chenault,  Mrs.  W.  C.  Porter,  Mrs.  Has  Clark,  Mrs.  S.  B.  Gardner, 
ajjrs.  Harriet  Dilworth,  Mrs.  E.  Grant,  Mrs.  S.  A.  Ashbaugh,  Mrs. 
E.  Cassell,  Mrs.  J.  A.  Jones,  Mrs.  W.  J.  Moore,  Mrs.  Hart,  Mrs. 
B'udd,  Mrs.  J.  M.  Goodsell,  jMrs.  Matthew's,  Mrs.  Beadell,  Mrs.  E.  L. 
Strode.  Mrs.  J.  A.  Rutherford,  Mrs.  J.  M.  Ferguson,  Miss  Annie 
Ferguson,  Mrs.  Bem(is,  Mrs.  S.  Church,  Mrs.  E.  J.  Stall. 

A  meeting  of  much  pleasure  and  profit  was  held  in  May,  1888, 
when  Mrs.  Harriett  Dilworth,  who  had  been  sent  as  a  delegate  to 
Gamett,  gave  an  excellent  report  of  the  meetings  and  brought  new 
life  to  the  society.  Miss  Nettie  Warner  was  also'  present.  She  had 
returned  a  short  time  before  from  Southeastern  Asia,  where  she  had 
worked  in  the  missionary  field,  and  she  gave  a  very  interesting  talk 
on  Sia|}u.  The  "Mission  Band"  of  young  people  presented  their  col- 
lections to  the  Missionary  Society,  and  it  was  sent  by  them  to  the 
Oswego  Mission. 

The  first  death  recorded  in  the  society  was  on  April  1,  1892, 
when  the  death  of  the  dear  friend  and  co-^iprker,  Mrs.  Harriet  Dil- 
worth, is  given,  she  having  passed  to  the  other  shore  March  19,  1892. 
Resolutions  of  condolence  were  read,  and  a  committee  was  formed 
to  tender  the  sympathy  of  the  society  to  the  bereaved  family.     It 


page  forty-three 


was  ordered  that  a  copy  of  the  resolutions  be  given  to  them  and 
also  spread  upon  the  records. 

A  prayer  composed  by  Mrs.  Dihvorth  was  read  to  the  society. 
It  was  a  very  beautiful  prayer  of  supplication  to-  our  Heavenly 
Father  for  strength  and  guidance.  After  Mrs.  Dilworth's  death  the 
meetings  were  held  with  her  daughter,  Mrs.  S.  B.  Gardner,  and  she 
held  the  offlce  of  Treasurer  until  she  passed  away.  Mrs.  Strode  then 
became  Treasurer,  and  has  held  that  oflice  for  more  than  fourteen 

years. 

In  the  year  1904,  Mrs.  W.  C.  Porter's  health  failing,  she  re- 
signed the  office  of  President  of  the  Society.  Mrs.  John  Mead  was 
appointed  to  fill  the  vacancy,  and  has,  since  then,  been  its  efficient 
leader. 

Mrs.  Porter's  long  years  of  sei*\'ice  and  devotion  to  her  church 
have  been  felt  through  all  the  meetings  of  this  organization,  and  in 
her  death  on  Feb.  7,  1909,  an  ardent  worker  has  passed  her  worli  on 
to  the  present  members,  and  may  they  all  be  as  faithful  to  the  cause. 

The  funds  of  the  society  are  raised  from  dues,  thank  ofl'erings, 
extra  collections,  and  mite  boxes,  and  this  money  is  sent  to  the  dif- 
ferent Mission  Boards  for  distribution.  Many  calls  come  to  the 
society  for  aid  and  they  do  what  they  can  in  response.  A  donation 
is  sent  every  year  to  the  Goodlander  Home,  a  very  worthy  institution 
in  our  city. 

The  meetings  are  opened  with  prayer  and  song,  and  the  pro- 
grams are  composed  of  papers  and  ai-ticles  describing  the  Home  and 
Foreign  fields,  and  interspersed  with  vocal  and  instriuuental  music. 
A  new  departure  of  the  society  was  inaugurated  at  a  meeting  in 
March,  1907,  when  dainty  refreshments  were  served  to  the  members 
by  our  Pastor's  wife,  Mrs.  A.  E.  Vanorden,  assisted  by  Mrs.  J.  A. 
Jones  at  the  Manse.  It  proved  to  be  such  a  pleasing  feature,  that 
it  has  become  one  of  the  permanent  functions  of  the  society.  Two 
members  are  hostesses  at  the  meetings  held  on  the  third  Friday  of 
elach  month. 

The  present  officers  are :  Pres.,  IMrs.  J.  H.  Mead  y  First  Vice 
Pres.,  Mrs.  J.  K.  Keene ;  Second  Vice  Pres.,  Mrs.  Frank  Milligan ; 
Third  Vice  Pres.,  Mrs.  E.  L.  Glaze;  Secy.,  Miss  Augusta  Peirson; 
Treas.,  Mrs.  R.  C.  Campbell ;  Secy,  of  Literature,  Mrs.  Joe  Mead.

Since  the  increased  gi-owth  of  our  church  the  Missionary  Society 
has  gained  new  life  and  strength,  and  there  is  now  an  enrollment  of 
fifty-eight  members.  Their  desire  is  that  the  interest  shall  gxow  un- 
til all  the  members  are  enrolled  in  the  great  Missionary  cause  of  our 
church  and  the  world. 

THE  LADIES'  SOCIETY 

This  organization  has  the  honor  of  being  the  oldest  society  in 
this  church,  having  been  effected  as  early  as  1880.  During  the  war 
they  did  noble  work  in  supplying  lint,  bandages,  and  other  hospital 
necessities,  but  no  record  of  its  acts  and  deliberations  during  the 
first  thirty  years  of  its  life  have  been  presei-ved.  According  to  the 
best  authority  attainable,  Mrs.  William  Smith  Avas  its  first  presi- 
dent, and  was  followed  in  later  years,  though  not  in  the  order  named, 
by  Mesdames  A.  Coston,  Charles  Rubicau,  James  C.  Bright,  J.  H. 
Mead,  S.  D.  Clapp,  W.  P.  Dilworth  and  E.  R.  Chenault.  It  is  to  be 
regretted  that  this  list  supplied  from  memory  is  incomplete. 

A  perusal  of  the  records  since  1891  shows,  in  addition  to  the 
previous  list,  the  names  of  Mesdames  W.  J.  Bawdin,  Clias.  Kaiser, 
J.  M.  Bright,  J.  W.  Davis,  George  E.  Ware,  J.  O.  Brown  and  W.  D. 
Mitchell,  as  having  served  as  Presidents  of  the  society. 

One  of  the  important  duties  of  this  society  has  been  to  supple- 
ment the  wlork  of  the  trustees  in  meeting  the  current  expenses,  al- 
ways responding  liberally  to  the  call  for  aid  in  raising  any  special 
fund,  or  to  supply  a  deficit. 

In  the  early  days  the  old  McDonald  Hall,  because  of  its  conven- 
ient location,  was  the  usual  place  for  holding  entertainments.  TEe 
time-worn  methods  of  raising  funds  were  resorted  to  in  the  years 
that  followed:  suppers,  bazaars,  exchanges,  spelling  schools,  and 
other  entertainments,  includinc:  soime  very  unique  ones. 

Since  1896  an  annual  Easter  Concert,  has  been  a  source  of  great 
pleasnre  and  much  profit,  and  this  privilege  has  of  late  years  been 
shared  with  the  Yonncr  Ladies'  Societv.  as  since  the  organization  of 
the  latteir.  the  two  societies  have  worked  in  perfect  harmonv. 

The  choir,  that  bnue  nnd  blessing  of  everv  church,  was  for  many 
years  an  obiect  of  deep  solicitude  ort  the  part  of  this  societv,  whose 
office  it  was  to  fill  the  vacancies  and  heal  the  breaches  that  occurred. 


At  the  present  time  the  maiutenan  :-e  of  the  choir  is  assured  through 
the  combined  efforts  of  the  three  societies. 

This  society  on  several  occasions  purchased  new  hjnnn  books 
for  the  pews,  and  supplied  new  carpets.  We  report  with  much  pride 
that,  in  the  year  190-1,  |879.S3  was  raised  and  judiciously  expended 
for  refurnishing  the  church. 

The  current  social  life  of  the  church  has  been  kept  mo\'ing 
through  the  years  by  this  society,  and  in  recent  years,  we  have  had 
the  hearty  cooperation  of  the  two'  younger  organizations.  The  pres- 
ent ojSacers  are:  Pres.,  Mrs.  J.  ML  Bright;  Vice  Pres.,  Mrs.  W.  D. 
Mitchell;  Secy.,  Mrs.  F.  E.  Haiwthome;  Treas.,  Mrsi.  M.  Rogers. 

YOUNG  LADIES'  SOCIETY 

As  a,  social  and  financial  aid  to  the  church  Mrs.  W.  C.  Porter, 
in  the  year  1883,  organized  the  first  Young  Ladies'  Society.  A  num- 
ber of  the  yoiung  ladies  of  the  church  met  at  the  parsonage  and 
planned  their  work.  Miss  Mary  P.  ililler  was  appointed  president. 
These  meeitings  were  successfully  kept  up  for  about  two  years,  when 
the  society  became  inactive. 

About  the  year  1889,  the  society  was  re-organized  with  Miss 
Grace  Eedfield  as  president.  Under'  her  leadership  the  society 
flourished  and  assisted  the  church  by  furnishing  mnsic  and  in  var- 
ious ways.  Miss  Redfield  served  for  three  years  and  after  her  resig- 
nation the  society  merged  into  the  Ladies'  Society,  remaining  with 
them  for  a  year  or  more. 

In  1891  Mrs.  W.  C.  Parkinson  reorganized  the  society  and 
seiwed  as  president  for  one  year.  In  1895  Miss  Augusta  Peirson  was 
elected  president,  and  held  the  office  for  nine  years,  the  society  gi-ow- 
ing  each  year  in  interest  and  meanbership,  often  raising  several  hun- 
dred dollars  a,  year  for  the  improvements  of  the  church,  one  year 
giving  two  hundred  dollars  to(wards  the  building  of  the  Sunday 
school  room,  also  two  hundred  dollars  to  the  piano  fund,  and  help- 
ing with  other  needed  furnishings  for  the  church. 

The  following  ladies  have  served  as  presidents:  Mesdames  C.  A. 
VanvelzeT,  M.  F.  Jari'ett,  H.  F.  Chaptoan  and  J.  J.  Lewis.   Under 


page  forty-six 


the  management  of  these  ladies  the  society  jjrospered  and  did  good 
work  for  the  church. 

We  call  1906  the  society 's  banner  year,  as  with  Mrs.  M.  F.  Jar- 
rett  as  president,  the  ladies  raised  fifteen  hundred  dollars,  the  larg- 
est amount  ever  made  in  one  year  by  the  society.  One  thousand 
dollars  was  given  to  the  repairing  of  the  church,  and  fiA^e  hundred 
dollars  for  the  pipe  organ.  It  was  while  Mrs.  Jarrett  was  president 
that  the  society  sensed  a  banquet  for  the  Democratic  convention 
where  nearly  one  thousand  plates  weire  laid,  and  by  her  skillful 
management  a,  good  sum  was  turned  into  the  treasury. 

Since  the  increased  growth  of  our  church  the  society  has  grown 
in  meimbership  until  now  we  havei  an  enrollment  of  sixty  mieluhers. 
The  society's  work  for  the  past  few  years  has  been  chiefly  taking 
charge  of  the  music,  paying  out  several  hundred  dollars  each  year 
to  the  maintenance  of  the  choir  and  also  assisting  our  pastor  in  the 
social  and  benevolent  work  of  the  church. 

The  officers  of  the  society  for  the  year  1909  are:  Pres.,  Mrs. 
M.  F.  Jarrett;  First  Vice  Pres.,  Mrs.  A.  M.  Keene;  Se|cond  Vice 
Pres.,  Mrs.  Roscoe  Campbell;  Secy.,  Mrs.  Willard  Templar;  Treas., 
Mrs.  W.  E.  Cassell. 

THE  WESTMINSTER  SOCIETY 

This  society  was  organized  by  the  Misses  Francis  Burge,  and 
Bessie  Legg,  on  March  2,  1906,  having  as  niembers  the  following 
young  ladies:  Misses  Francis  Burge,  Bessie  Legg,  Mattie  Belle 
Bright,  Ida  Kate  Ware,  Luella  Draper,  Dorothy  Clair  and  Edith 
Lindsey.  This  enthusiastic  band  of  workers  selected  the  following 
oflEicers:  Pres.,  Francis  Burge;  Vice  Pres.,  Bessie  Legg;  Secy., 
Mattie  Belle  Bright;  Treas.,  Ida  K.  Ware. 

They  helped  to  beautify  their  beloved  church  each  Sabbath  by 
furnishing  beautiful  ferns  or  fragrant  flowers. 

Success  attended  their  efforts  in  many  lines  of  work,  and  at  tlie 
belginning  of  the  second  year  they  had  an  enrollment  of  sixteen 
members.  During  this  year  they  had  funds  sufficient  to  purchase  a 
new  communion  table  bearing  the  injunction  .•      "Do  this  in  remem- 


page  forty-seven 


brance  of  me."  A  splendid  iwrtion  was  also  given  toward  tlie  golden- 
piped  organ. 

The  third  year  Miss  Jessie  Meek  was  elected  president  and  an- 
other successful  season  was  spent,  donating  largely  toward  ^lie 
music  fund,  thus  doing  their  part  in  helping  to  bear  the  expenses 
of  the  church. 

Dainty  refreshments  were  always  served  during  the  meeting.s 
of  the  society,  two  of  the  members  acting  as  hovstesses. 

During  the  present  year  the  society  has  gxeatly  aided  the 
chui'ch  by  purchasing  many  of  the  little  accessories,  the  most  import- 
ant of  which  are  the  two  bulletins  placed  near  the  outer  entrances. 
For  the  convenience  of  those  members  who  are  employed  during  the 
day;  every  alternate  meeting  is  held  in  the  evening  and  nivany  pleas- 
ant and  interesting  gatherings  are  enjoyed  by  the  Westminsters. 

The  oificers  presiding  at  the  present  time  are:  Pres.,  Luella" 
Draper;  Vice  Pres.,  Sylvia  DeStwolinski ;  Secy,  and  Treas.,  Jliss 
Fern  Brown.
